NORRISTOWN — The Literacy Council of Norristown held its annual International Potluck Dinner Wednesday, featuring foods from more than 13 different countries. Two meals were served, one at lunch for Day Class students, and one at dinner for the Night Class students.

Students, teachers, and their families were able to come together during the community dinner to share in each other’s heritage. The meals featured food from countries such as Jamaica, Vietnam, Mexico, Egypt, Algeria, Italy, and more.

The Literacy Council offers classes in English as a second language and adult basic education. After the meal teachers proudly watched their students introduce themselves to the room in English.
